why is the logi bolt compatible with the m575 but not the mx ergo , isnt the mx ergo also business ? i want to connect my k860 & mx ergo through bolt at work

I'd rather use a hub on the USB-C port and then connect the dongle. I don't wanna use my thunderbolt port just for peripherals.

Why did you changed from unifying to bolt? Why are the not interchangeable?

[@damiandudycz]

After Logi Bolt is paired with my keyboard is it possible to connect the receiver to another device, and use it? For example if I want to use it with PS3 (Linux), will it work after it's been paired on another computer?

Thanks for making this i found that i was looking for an answer to if i can connect multiple devices to a logibolt and it seems that i can do so I'll have to buy some of those logitech pop keys real soon i reckon they look super cool

[@bogdan2142]

Hi. 90% of the time I am using 2 laptops in paralel and for the rest of the 20% I am using 3 laptops in the same time. Moving from one to another became very annoying because I have to switch the pc from the mouse and keyboard. I can’t install Logitech flow on 2 of the pc (one is Linux and the other is blocked by corporate policy). For each pc I use usb receivers and the keyboard and mouse are linked together in each receiver. Why switching the pc from the keyboard does not produce a switch also in the mouse or a switch from the mouse to switch automatically the keyboard ? Is it possible? I use MX Keys keyboard and MX Master 3S

[@Salvatorez1980]

Oh this is so cool, I was having trouble with bluetooth connection so hopefully this will make my connection to my computer more stable

Hi I Have a M240 mouse Can i connect It With A Unifi Receiver ????

[@mitsostri3535]

I bought Logitech MX Keys Mini for a brand new PC and also the Logi Bolt USB receiver since bluetooth keeps disconnecting. The problem is that every time I turn on the computer, the keyboard is disconnected and the number on the keyboard that indicates which machine is connected (in my case that is #1) is blinking. Pressing or keeping the button pressed simply doesn't work. The only thing that works is if I switch USB port of the Logi Bolt. Only then it connects. I am sure that this is not right and I'm tired to do this all the time. Do you have any suggestions, or is it diffective and I have to return it?

[@logitechsupport]

Hi Mitsostri, We request you to disconnect and reconnect your device and reset your keyboard. If the issue persists, reach out to the Logitech support team for assistance.

[@Lilinator81]

So i have a K650 keyboard and use it on 2 computers via Bluetooth and the Bolt-receiver. The Bluetooth-solution is not a good choice for me, so is it possible to buy a second bolt-receiver and use the keyboard with 2 bolt receivers (on every computer each)?

[@logitechsupport]

Hi there, The Logitech K650 is not a multi-device keyboard and cannot be used on different computers at the same time. Also, you can pair the keyboard to a different Logi Bolt receiver.

[@arnosthort6696]

Why this not work with PlayStation 5? I can use old Logitech wireless dongle, but not usb light bolt?

[@jvmerle]

If I use a unifying receiver with an MX Master 3 and an MX Keys, would there be any meaningful performance benefit with logitech bolt technology? I'm far less worried about security and encription, but $240 isn't much to upgrade to bolt if it's "faster, smoother, more precise".

[@logisupport9414]

Hi there, First of all, Unifying device such as MX Master 3 and MX Keys are not compatible with Logi Bolt. Yes, the Logi Bolt compatible devices such as MX Master 3 for Business and MX Keys for Business will definitely have more security and encryption as Logi Bolt is a cutting-edge wireless protocol, engineered to meet rising enterprise security expectations. Regards, Logi Support

[@Human-ct6dp]

I’ve seen Logitech support tried to avoid key questions (again). Let me help you with that, it’s NOT faster, smoother or more precise than unifying.

[@logitechsupport]

Hi El, We are really sorry for your experience. Please be informed that Unifying devices are not compatible with Logi Bolt receivers. Logi Bolt is based on the global wireless standard for simple, secure connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology. Logitech Unifying is a proprietary 2.4 GHz radio frequency wireless protocol that was developed by Logitech. Plainly, they don't speak the same language.

The G305 uses Lightspeed technology which is different from Logi Bolt. The receiver would have been packaged in the box with the mouse. Unfortunately, purchased a Logi Bolt receiver will not work with the G305.

Hi Ramon, Please be informed you will have to connect your combo via receiver or Bluetooth on one each device you wanna establish the connection with. That is you can connect the receiver to Windows and then use another receiver or Bluetooth to connect the MacOS.

But when I turned on the keyboard, it could not connect to the mentioned Logi Bolt. I only have the Bluetooth connection option left. My question is - how to add a keyboard to an existing Logi Bolt WITHOUT Logitech software. For reasons unknown to me, I cannot install Logi Options + on my computers. But that's another problem, I'd stick to the issue of pairing, without software. Thank you in advance.

[@logitechsupport]

Logi Bolt and Unifying are not compatible. Bolt is our new more secure and faster proprietary connection that was designed to replace Unifying receiver. In order to continue using non-Bolt devices that require Unifying receiver you will need to continue using the Unifying receiver.

[@MadsFeierskov]

I'm confused. I bought an MX Keys which came with a unifying receiver, and my older MX Master connects to that just fine, but the MX Keys can't connect to the older unifying receivers I have, and the products page says it's only compatible with Logi Bolt. It's kinda strange that you didn't just make everything backwards compatible, so everything can still comnect, but just can't take advantage of the newer tech.

[@logitechsupport]

As with most new technologies, allowing older technology to connect to new technology is easier as the protocols can be built into the new technology that allows the older connection to still function. However, do to massive changes in the way the technology works from a hardware perspective, allowing the new technology to connect to the old technology is not possible.

[@logitechsupport]

Products using Logi Bolt are not compatible with the Logi Unifying receiver and vice versa as they are two different technologies, so, unfortunately, there is no way to combine the newer products onto the old receivers or the old products to the new receivers.

If Logi Bolt is not a necessity, that list expands quite a bit. Please visit: www.logitech.com/products/mice.html and on the left hand side you will see a filtering option for Left Handed and Ambidextrous mice.

Hey Thomas, If you are referring to the Logitech Options software, we would like to inform you that the software may have incompatibility with video games as it's not designed to hold a customized function for gaming. We hope you will love the Logitech G products as they are mainly focused on gaming and the Logitech G Hub software will allow you to customize. Regards, Logi Support

[@notafraidtodream]

It would've been convenient if the Wave Keys and MX Ergo trackball could use the same receiver. I was hoping to streamline by using just one receiver with my new Wave Keys, but unfortunately, they require different ones. Quite disappointing! It begs the question: what's the point of a 'unifying' receiver if it can't actually unify everything?

[@logitechsupport]

We have upgraded to the Logi Bolt, our new and more secure version of the Unifying receiver. This means that all new hardware we release, outside of gaming, will have the latest technology for your peace of mind. Unfortunately, due to the different types of chips used between the two connectors, they aren't compatible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

[@jhillyt]

If I setup my Logi Bolt Receiver on a Mac can I plug the Logi into a pc and have all my devices work seamlessly ? Thanks in advance...

If you mean are you able to move your Logi Bolt receiver to your PC after connecting your devices to the same Logi Bolt dongle, then yes. Once the devices are synced to the Logi Bolt receiver they will connect to it automatically, regardless of the computer you plug them into.

[@noveullotus]

Can I plug bolts into separate computers and then easy-switch between those computers?

[@JoshuaIsaiah]

If the keyboard or mouse has the easy switch feature you can use each device with up to three Logi Bolts receivers or pair via Bluetooth. Bolt supported keyboards and mice aren't compatible with the Unifying receiver though, if I'm not mistaken.

So if the keyboard or mouse is not "for business" I cannot use the logi bolt or it doesn't matter if it isn't "for business"

[@Artiick]

It does.... The "business" costs like 50/60 bucks more (with current prices if bought individually) and they allow you to use the logibolt for both. Otherwise you'll be stuck (like me) with a logibolt for the Master 3, and with the bloody unifying one for the keys....Which is greedy and absurd....
